TUNEL Assay Kits
The TUNEL series of apoptosis kits developed by Elabscience®, including the One-step TUNEL In Situ Apoptosis Kit, One-step TUNEL Flow Cytometry Apoptosis Kit, and TUNEL In Situ Apoptosis Kit (HRP-DAB Method), can be used for apoptosis detection of tissue samples (paraffin-embedded, frozen section) and cells samples (cell smears, cell crawling films, suspension cells, adherent cells).Our TUNEL assay kits have high sensitivity, quick and easy operation, which can better assist in apoptosis research on diseases related to cell function and R&D of related drugs.
Detection Principle
An important feature of the late stage of apoptosis is DNA fragmentation, and the exposed 3'-OH of the fragmented DNA can be catalyzed by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT) to bind to fluorochrome-labeled dUTP, which can be visualized by fluorescence microscopy or flow cytometry. This method is also known as One-step method (higher detection sensitivity, more intuitive results, and easier experimental results to be published in SCI articles).
If the exposed 3'-OH is added with biotin-labeled dUTP (Biotin-dUTP) under the catalysis of TdT, and then combined with HRP-labeled Streptavidin (Streptavidin-HRP), it is finally displayed by DAB color development under the catalysis of HRP, apoptotic cells can be detected by ordinary optical microscope.
One-step TUNEL In Situ Apoptosis Kit
Elabscience® One-step TUNEL In Situ Apoptosis Kits are suitable for in situ apoptosis detection of tissue samples (paraffin-embedded, frozen section) and cell samples (cell smear, slide film), and the detection results can be directly observed by fluorescence microscope. Compared with the DAB colorimetric method, the experimental results of fluorescent TUNEL are fluorescent pictures, which are more intuitive and easy to be published in SCI articles.
